Tool Storage Ideas

Organize Your Tools On a Pegboard

One of the most important parts of smart tool storage is the ability to see and pick out the right tool for the job. If they’re buried in a container or in piles, you may miss what you need.

Build a Cordless Drill Charging Station

Cordless drills and drivers are so much easier than your standard non-powered tools, but they also take up more room & need to be charged.

Fortunately, with a charging station you can take care of both problems at once.

You’ll need to choose a location near an outlet to make it work, but if you have the space your wooden station can hold multiple cordless tools, charge batteries, and even hold drill bits with the help of some magnetic tape.

Mount Drill Bits on Magnetic Tape

Many tools & accessories are made of metal, making magnets an effective way to hold things securely. When it comes to drill bits & smaller metal accessories, it can be hard to find an effective way to store them while still making them visible & easy to access. With a simple piece of magnetic tape on a bench, shelf, tool belt, or just about anywhere, you can safely suspend these loose pieces so that they don’t get kicked under the bench or lost forever.

There’s no need for your garage or workshop to be disorganized. An organized workshop makes it easier to find things, saves space on your workbench, and protects tools from wear.

No matter your budget, there’s a simple and effective tool storage idea for you. Try one – or a few – of our recommendations to take your workshop to the next level.

Protect Sawblades with Hose Tubing

Whether a handsaw or part of a Sawzall, blades need to be sharp and clean in order to work best.

In addition to posing a safety hazard when exposed, the teeth of a saw blade can rust when left out, dulling the blade and weakening the metal.

Fortunately, rubber is great for holding the sharp teeth firmly, protecting them from rust & damage as well as protecting them from cutting anyone. All you’ll need is a rubber hose that can be cut to size and you have a sleeve.
